💎✨ Happy National Pierce Your Ears Day!

Now THIS is a day we know how to celebrate!

Ear piercing has been part of the Merle Norman experience for generations—and we love that we get to continue the tradition right here in Elmhurst. From a child’s exciting first pair of earrings to teens and adults adding another piercing, there are plenty of smiles in our piercing chair. 💕

At Merle Norman Elmhurst, we offer professional ear piercing for ages 6+, including cartilage piercing, using the System 75 hand-pressurized piercing system and individually sterile piercing earrings.

And we have to ask…
Did you get your ears pierced at a Merle Norman Studio? Maybe years—or even decades—ago? Tell us in the comments! We’d love to hear your Merle Norman ear-piercing memories. 💎

🍔 Go ahead. Play with your food. 😂

This is one hamburger we’re perfectly fine with kids squishing, stretching, peeling apart and putting back together again!

The Taba Squishies Peelables Hamburger has separate squishy layers kids can peel apart, stretch, squish and stack to build their burger over and over. 🍅🥬🍔

It’s oddly satisfying, completely silly and exactly the kind of thing kids spot in the Boutique and immediately need to pick up. 😆

Recommended for ages 6+.

Stop into SophistiKids and give it a squish. We have a feeling the grown-ups are going to have a hard time putting it down, too. 😉
